- More about Gold Rush Societies, Environments and Migrant Networks in the Tasman World
This book investigates the role of memory in forming ethnic and national identities in the early twentieth-century Tasman World, focusing on the Otago gold rushes within the histories of British and Irish migration. It explores the relationship between space and place within the British, Irish, and Chinese diasporas and uses primary sources such as letters, diaries, autobiographies, and local and regional newspapers to combine transnational and comparative approaches. The book reveals how transnational connections and local social and natural environments shaped colonial identities and how the gold rushes impacted migrants' relationships to loved ones in Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere.

This book creatively explores the gold rushes in the Tasman World through an examination of the Otago gold rushes, revealing how transnational connections and local social and natural environments shaped colonial identities. The first monograph-length study on the Otago gold rushes and their place in the histories of British and Irish migration, it increases our understanding of the British World by grounding transnational networks in the local ecologies, geologies, and weather patterns which shaped local social structures and profoundly affected migrants' relationships to loved ones in Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere.
